“Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”

After so many “gaffes,” I think we need to stop calling these remarks unintentional and start calling them very intentional. You're right to hesitate calling this remark about smart white kids a gaffe.

I read the WaPo article when I was pregnant with my first, seven years ago. It literally destroyed me. I’m tearing up right now just thinking about it. I was so paranoid when I had my son, I would leave my purse in the backseat EVERY TIME. There were sooooo many times when I was tired, so tired I couldn’t think…

I’m 34 and a lot of people my age do not remember this movie, which is frustrating when I bust out my rendition of “Top That” (i.e. my favorite scene) to a confused audience. I have directed many a persons to that youtube clip. Excuse me while I rewatch it six times in rapid succession. 

Obligatory:

True story: I just came back from a month-long trip to East Africa and while we were in the Serengeti our guide told us that male lions can’t run as well as female lions because their balls rub together and it’s very painful, apparently.

Obligatory: Not all male lions.

I have felt this way for so long. Damnit, lions.

I was gonna say “frantic”, but “unhinged” works too.

Yes, please add Chastain to the list!

Cage even knows when he’s going Full Cage! There’s a story in one of the Spider-Verse behind the scenes videos where the director gave him notes and he replied, “Oh, you want the Full Cage.”

I finally made my bf watch it and he said he wanted a whole movie of just Olympia Dukakis and John Mahoney.  

Should I point out that Pete has a serious mental illness, and that living with a parent is maybe not the worst/most pathetic idea for an employed, single adult who struggles with suicidal ideation and other self-harm issues? No? We’re going to continue making fun of everything this person does, even though he’s…

I’m betting she is worried her daughters will spill something on the stand that will send Becky and Mos up the river for a long while.

My current floofball Felicia knows her full name plus all of her nickname variants, but she can’t seem to figure out that 3:00 in the morning is an unacceptable time for breakfast.

Leave me alone, peasant.

I don’t know. If she’s telling the truth that she didn’t know anything ... well that’s shitty. I do feel for her. My empathy doesn’t ebb and flow based on whether someone has money or not. That’s like saying, “oh, you suffer from depression?  Boo hoo, you’re rich.”  I mean, that’s not how things work.  She’s…

You know, I do actually feel sorry for the influencer because her parents really did fuck up her life, for a while anyway. After all, she was/is the child, and they are the adults.
None of this (faking athletic activity and saying you will go out for women’s crew, or even just filling out the damn application) was her…

Too much time spent on royal jewelry blogs is never enough.

My now ex-husband sent me a litany of text messages for hours about how angry he was that I was going to a Garth Brooks concert. At this point, we’d been married for 16 years. You still couldn’t understand that I’d wanted to see Garth since I was in the 8th grade? He was right. It was definitely a sign that we were…
